The SmartCabinet TM for Dell VRTX uses true on-line UPS technology that delivers continuous, high-quality AC power with no break when transferring to battery. It protects equipment from all power disturbances due to blackouts, brownouts, sags, surges or noise interference. Remote Monitoring. The SmartCabinet TM for Dell VRTX can be connected to your network and will alert you about power failures, high-temperature conditions, or when the cabinet door is opened. Physical Security. The SmartCabinet TM for Dell VRTX has lockable front and back doors and may be equipped with sensors to alert you when the doors are opened. The next sections of this document will show you how to take advantage of these main features when deploying a Dell VRTX chassis on a SmartCabinet TM. U Cabinet This cabinet has capacity to,000 lbs. on rolling wheels. Be sure to extend the feet on the bottom of the cabinet before mounting the VRTX chassis. ACS 00 The advanced console server has serial ports. One or two of these ports are connected to the serial ports of VRTX s CMC s. Remaining serial ports can be used to access the serial console ports of other network equipment. You will be able to access all serial ports via your network or a modem connection, which allows you to remotely configure and troubleshoot your CMC s and other network equipment at the same location. GXT -000 This true online UPS provides up to kva (,00W) of high-quality AC power. The batteries will power a fully loaded VRTX chassis operating at maximum capacity for minutes. The outlets used to power the VRTX chassis are remote controllable so you can cycle the chassis in the unlikely event of an unresponsive CMC. Cables and Adapters A SmartCabinet TM for Dell VRTX ships with all cables and adapters necessary for the installation of the VRTX chassis into the cabinet. It includes four power cords, CAT cables, and serial adapters. No more trips to the store to buy additional cables.

3 Remote Access A SmartCabinet TM for Dell VRTX allows you to remotely access the one or two serial ports on your VRTX chassis (depending on how many CMC s you have). You will be able to run racadm commands from any SSH client or web browser. This will give you complete control over your VRTX chassis. The remote access functionality is accomplished by connecting the serial console port of the CMC into one of the serial ports of the ACS 00, using a CAT and a serial adapter (both provided). One or both network interfaces on the ACS00 need to be connected to your network. Optionally you can also connect a USB modem to the front of the ACS00 and connect the modem to an analog phone line. PSTN After the physical installation is completed and the cabinet is powered on you will have to follow the installation guide to configure the IP address of your ACS. You also need to configure the serial port connected to your VRTX chassis with the correct settings (00, n). The ACS installation guide is available at images.go.emersonnetworkpower.com/web/ LiebertCorporation/%Bb--f00-- fbaa0ebf%d_00g.pdf 00W 00W 00W 00W If you are using a modem connection, you will have to configure the ACS for dial-in or dial back access.

4 Power Distribution and Back-up A SmartCabinet TM for Dell VRTX is powered by a KVA true online UPS that offers the highest level of power protection and the highest up time to your chassis. The picture to the right shows how you will connect the power cables when installing your VRTX chassis (power cables are provided with cabinet). The VRTX chassis must be connected to the four outlets on the right side of the UPS, otherwise remote control functionality will not be available. The UPS will be connected to a NEMA -0R receptacle (if a NEMA -0R plugs are not available see Other Configuration NEMA-P Plugs on page ). 00W 00W 00W 00W The UPS will provide - minutes of battery power to your chassis depending on how many blades are installed. The graph below shows different run-times for,, and M0 blades with processors, GB memory, and TB.in hard-drives for each blade. As you can see you will have plenty of time to resolve a power outage or gracefully shutdown your VRTX chassis. However, if these run-times are not enough, you can add additional battery modules to the cabinet (Dell part number # A). One additional battery module will give you 0-0 minutes of run-time. -0P Run-time (minutes) x M0 x M0 x M0 Battery run-time The GXT UPS can be managed through the LCD screen in front of the unit, or through the web browser (after you have configure the network settings in the Unity control card). To learn how to do this, please visit the GXT manual at en-us/products/acpower/rackmountups/documents/ SL-.pdf VRTX Power Consumption (Watts)

5 Remote Monitoring A SmartCabinet TM for Dell VRTX allows you remotely monitor the environment in which your VRTX chassis is running to ensure that you will receive SNMP alerts when conditions degrade. To receive these alerts, you will have to configure the IntelliSlotTM Unity card that comes pre-installed on your GXT. To learn how to perform the initial configuration on your monitoring card, please use the manual located at en-us/products/monitoring/documents/sl-.pdf 00W 00W Power alerts. You will receive alerts when the utility power is down and the UPS is running on battery. You will also receive alerts if the power remaining on the battery is running out. Temperature alerts. To receive temperature alerts you will have to order an optional temperature sensor (Dell part number A0). Intrusion Alerts. To receive alerts when the front and back doors are opened and closed, you will have to order an optional door sensor (Dell part number A). The Unity card will support up to 0 sensors daisy-chained off a single RJ ports so you can install more than one temperature or door sensor if necessary. 00W 00W Besides having the ability to send traps, the Unity card has full SNMP capabilities and will allow you to monitor the power and the sensors on a SmartCabinet via any network management software that supports SNMP.

In this example one additional network switch is mounted on the cabinet. The diagrams on this page show the network and serial connections (on the bottom right), and power connections (bottom left). Before installing additional equipment into the cabinet you will need to confirm that you still have power capacity available. If your VRTX is fully populated and running at full capacity it will consume,00w of power. The SmartCabinet TM has,00w of power capacity so there are 00W available for expansion. Most VRTX chassis are not fully populated and do not run at full capacity so you will have to check the web interface on your Unity card to determine how much power is being consumed by your installation.
